Jeez, haven’t these guys ever heard of the Internet?

Boy, this one just writes itself.  Meet Sam, a 21-year-old guy with a shaved head and a thick chain around his neck, who says he’s “tired of sleeping with drunk chicks,” so he forked over $1,600 for a “charm school” course  to teach him how to get women. Hey, good luck with that, Sam.

Sam and the other guys in our story took their course from the folks at Charisma Arts, who have testimonials on their site like this one for their book: “It has  easy-to-follow advice on being a cool guy who women like. The most profound thing I’ve ever read.” 

Right.  Well, in the promising words of the Charisma Arts site, “Live your life like a tequila ad.” I am not making this up. Here’s the story
